My healing journey began after experiencing multiple concussions while playing sports in high school and college. The long-term effects of these injuries combined with traumatic stress and the loss of a child degraded the quality of my life. I experienced numbness, frustration, anger and deep sadness. The lack of control or ability to make things better seemed like a life sentence without choice. The effects of my pain were felt by the people I loved around me. I could not stand that, or myself. Regardless of what I tried I could not help but feel like I was inflicting them with my pain. After seeking multiple conventional methods to address my health—and receiving solutions, or diagnoses that did not serve me—I was introduced to plant-based medicines, transformational healing and integration.  

The help that I received was structured, well thought out and presented with a clear definition of how I could work towards healing. The result was like 20 years of therapy in a few weeks of preparation, experience and integration. The guided experience allowed me to reconnect to my nervous system, be compassionate to myself, and choose my own path again. The product of my efforts with proper coaching allows me to authentically experience joy daily and be myself again.  

My practice is based on passing on the gifts I received to other people who are suffering and want to experience like change in their life. The coach I strive to be is consistent with how I was coached and guided out of my pain and numbness. Suffering is universal, but each path is unique to yourself. I am privileged to walk for a while with each client on their own paths until they find their footing and pace.
